We've handed over the rescue bunnies to their new home. A very emotional time for me - in fact I was worried sick - but have been able to visit them now and they seem to be doing fine!

Giving the wild rescue bunnies some outdoors experience before moving on to their new home & eventual release!

Bit of a scare today as Big Bun escaped from the run and was only found (by a stroke of luck) after dark (having travelled all the way up the garden, round the house & into the other garden) 😰

Do I have to do everything around here? 🐇

Wow, was off Mastodon for a week and my previous bunny pic went a bit viral!

Big Bun and Little Bun like playing on the sofa after feeding time. I hadn't realised that rabbits could climb, though...

I'm all ears!

One of the wild rabbits we're hand-rearing. They are about 5 weeks old. This is the bigger by far of the two, weighing 260g

Given the slightest chance, Storm will dive headlong into the cuff of my sleeve and climb up it inside my sweater (then lurk in my armpit where I can't easily get her out).
